It is a monogenic disorder caused by mutations in the <i>FXN<\/i> gene resulting in reduced levels of frataxin protein. FA affects about 13,500 people in the US, Europe, Canada and Australia combined. There are currently no approved therapies for Friedreich\u2019s Ataxia patients.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About SCN9A<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>SCN9A <\/i>is the gene encoding NaV1.7, a trans-membrane sodium channel, that plays a critical role in pain signal signaling. NaV1.7 is strongly expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, which mediate transmission of peripheral pain signals to the brain. NaV1.7\u2019s critical role for pain signaling has been biologically validated by human gain-of-function mutations leading to severe pain conditions such as Inherited Erythromelalgia and Small Fiber Neuropathy and human loss-of-function mutations lead to congenital insensitivity to pain. NaV1.7-targeting therapies could provide a novel treatment option for neuropathic pain conditions in which currently available therapies are largely ineffective.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About CLN3 Batten Disease<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCLN3 Batten Disease is a monogenic, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the <i>CLN3<\/i> gene resulting in battenin protein deficiency. Affected individuals experience childhood blindness, pediatric dementia syndrome, seizures, and early death between age 20 and 30. CLN3 Batten is estimated to affect about 700 individuals in the United States. There are currently no approved therapies for these patients.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Exicure, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nExicure, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics for neurology, immuno-oncology, inflammatory diseases and other genetic disorders based on our proprietary Spherical Nucleic Acid, or SNA technology. Exicure believes that its proprietary SNA architecture has distinct chemical and biological properties that may provide advantages over other nucleic acid therapeutics and may have therapeutic potential to target diseases not typically addressed with other nucleic acid therapeutics. Exicure is in preclinical development of XCUR-FXN an SNA\u2013based therapeutic candidate, for the treatment of Friedreich\u2019s ataxia (FA). Exicure&#8217;s drug candidate AST-008 is currently in a Phase 1b\/2 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors. Exicure is in Chicago, IL and has an office in Cambridge, MA.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information, visit Exicure\u2019s website at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exicuretx.com&amp;esheet=52355341&amp;newsitemid=20210104005186&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.exicuretx.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=e1e5433f8b2c5a9339defd4a7112c26d\">www.exicuretx.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Forward Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
